Icarus, breathing blue flame.

Through a unique rebirth system, your dragon can one day become an immortal legendary dragon!

Concept art for the Aurora Wyvern, the celestial legendary dragon!

The Vuforia augmented reality camera tracks the rune image, and “summons” your dragon on your phone screen, letting you take pictures, video, etc. with a dragon seemingly right next to you. You can print the rune and place it on your hand, your arm, your shoulder, anywhere you like, and your dragon will be there.

The seed was born from exploring new augmented and virtual reality tech. Sadly, these are going to be pretty pricey when they're first released. The good news is, you don’t need a $1000 headgear for augmented reality, and we want everyone to try out augmented reality, on a device that they already own.

Risks and challenges

A risk of any video game project is feature creep. There are so many great ideas everywhere, and as developers, it's always tempting to try and please everyone by including as many features as possible. The scope of the project has been kept deliberately small, and unless stretch goals are reached, even features we'd love to do (like geolocation AR features, with exclusive dragons at specific locations around the world) are off limits.

A related challenge is keeping to a timeline. The great thing is, the main designer and programmer have worked on several projects together previously, and know to keep design under strict technical constraints, so that the schedule stays flexible but on time.
